As a writer for Joan Rivers and opener for Jim Jeffries, Justin brings a unique perspective to his podcast, Just Sayin', where he tackles important conversations with humor and lightheartedness. We take a walk down memory lane, reminiscing about our time hosting a morning show together, and discuss the importance of not taking ourselves too seriously all the time.

We wrap up the episode with some lighthearted banter, playing games like "Who's the Better Cook?" and "Who's the First to Get Kicked Out of the Club?" while discussing Justin's playful relationship with his boyfriend Evan.
